anreith [inSanos]You hungry?
You know you've
got to come get it,
don't play hard to get.
You will like it.
It's cat...
There you go.
Leave room
for breakfast.
I can think of
younger days
when living for my life
Was everything a man
could want to do
I could never
see tomorrow
I was never told
about the sorrow
How can you mend
a broken heart?
How can you
stop the rain
from falling down?
How can you stop
the sun from shining?
What makes the
world go round?
Hello?
Hello?
Please...
don't hurt me.
Here, take anything
you want.
Frozen food.
Take it.
- I'm not gonna hurt you.
- Yeah?
That's what the
last guys said.
Could you help me?
The wheel came off.
I can't fix it.
Maybe if I...
if I could...
but I can't.
The only good thing
about no soap
Is that you can smell
hijackers a mile off.
I am impressed!
This lad...
smelled us...
from thirty feet away!
What does that say
about our hygiene?
What you got there
in that pack?
What pack?
He's got a gun.
Well sh*t, it
ain't loaded.
They never are.
Ain't that right,
old man?
Open the pack and
tip it out on the road,
nice and slow.
Can't do that.
Take off the
f***ing pack...
and put it on
the ground...
or die!
Are you listening to me?
- I am now.
- Good.
- Are you listening to me?
- Yeah.
Good.
Put that hand
on me again,
and you wont
get it back.
Can you believe
this f***ing guy?
Alright, we will do
it the hard way.
Why did you do that?
Did you cut my
hand off?
What are you standing
around for?
Kiss him!
What did he say?
He's in shock.
I think he meant
"Kill him".
I told you you weren't
gonna get that back.
Yeah, you did.
Who are you?
Where's your water?
They have none, they
were gonna take you up,
and then eat you.
It's true.
It's in the cart.
You gonna take any?
- Where are you going?
- West.
- Can I come with you?
- No.
No!
Woah, woah, woah...
Where are you going?
Stay on the path.
No!
Stay on the path,
it's not your concern.
Stay on the path,
it's not your concern.
- I don't know you.
- I'm not from around here.
No sh*t. Who are you?
I don't want any trouble.
Okay.
- Just a customer, okay?
- Okay.
I'm sorry I gotta
see the hands.
I'm not one of them.
Okay.
I'm gonna take something
out of my pack.
Take your finger
off the trigger.
Oh, sweet. That's
a Phantom 900, man.
Is it?
I haven't seen one of
those since the 90's.
Yeah, I got it
back east.
- Does it still work?
- Yeah, just need a charge,
can you do that
for me? A charge.
I got cables.
I don't need cables,
I can charge it for you,
if you got the coin.
Yes I do.
- It's American.
- Oh yeah.
I got a whole
bunch of these.
How about Chapstick,
got any Chapstick?
No Chapstick.
I got cat oil.
- Fresh cat oil.
- No, no.
It's good, it's good for...
works the same way.
What about toys,
got any toys?
No, I don't play.
Oh, I got...
Oh yeah.
Yeah yeah.
Okay, alright.
I'll have this,
with these.
Oh, absolutely,
those are yours.
Okay, give me a
couple of hours.
- I'll charge it up for you
- Thank you.
You can wait over there,
across the street.
- No, I'm good.
- Bar is about to open.
I'll wait here.
You dont trust
me, do you?
- I'll wait here.
- Alright.
Carnie, one of the road
crews just pulled into town.
They got something
for you.
- Books?
- A whole pack of them.
Tell them I wanna
see them. Right now.
We did good.
The one you want.
It ain't there?
No.
I just dont understand.
That's a shitload of books.
You don't have
to understand.
I understand.
Leave that to me and
we can be friends.
I have faith in you,
you will find it.
Ah, wait!
I got this too.
Oh, now this is a treat.
It's a schampoo.
Go get slammed.
Get some p*ssy.
On me as much as you
and your boys can stand.
Then go back
on the road.
Then we'll get
you your book!
Of that I have no doubt.
You're sending guys out
that can't even read
to look for one book.
No wonder they
never find anything.
unless you'd like
to go with them.
- What about these?
- Burn them.
They got any water?
They have if you
can pay for it.
Here. Smell this.
One of the road
crews found it.
Who knows...
Might be the last
schampoo on the planet.
And it's all yours.
Did they find your book?
No.
Outlander?
Let me see.
- Alright, what will it be?
- Water.
That's the good stuff.
I gotta eat into my
own rations to sell,
so it don't
come cheap.
That will get you
maybe half way.
Solara!
Get this and
get it filled.
Wait. You need this.
Can you please move?
Thank you.
That was my cat.
Fine specimen.
I saw you knock
him off the bar.
No, I kinda shoo'd it,
You raised your
hand at him.
Won't happen again,
I promise you.
Hey Martz, how about
another drink?
That cat's been coming
in here for 2 years.
It's got more right to
be here than you.
I don't want any trouble.
That's too bad,
cause you...
I know who you are.
Murderer of innocent
travelers on the road.
You are going to be
held in account
for the things you've
done, do you know that?
It's okay.
I'm gonna grab my things,
and walk out of here.
- Alright, brother?
- Yeah.
Cursed be the ground,
for our sake.
Of thorns and thistles, it
shall bring forth, for us.
For out of the ground
we were taken
for the dust we are.
And to the dust
we shall return.
Stop!
Please.
Redridge!
Redridge.
- And who are you?
- Nobody.
Oh, I doubt that.
The men you
killed in my bar.
They were nobody.
- But you now...
- He ain't got the shakes.
He ain't one of them.
Good. This is a
civilized town.
We don't eat humans.
We don't see too many
people from before.
Not anymore.
- Do you read?
- Every day.
How good for you.
Me too.
You know whats funny?
As old as we are,
people like you and me,
we're the future.
What do you
want with me?
Straight to the point.
I like that.
You're not just educated.
themselves the way you did
I dont know where
you learned it,
but I sure as hell
could use it.
It's a little town,
just the beginning.
Im about to expand,
I need expert help,
I could use
someone like you.
Thank you. But I'm
really not interested.
People who work for
me live better than
any worker dreamed.
Ask Redrige, here.
Ask the boys, anyone.
Real beds, hot food,
women.
Clean water.
You could do a lot
worse, my friend.
Thank you.
But I got somewhere
I need to be.
Where?
West.
There is nothing west.
I've been told
different.
By who?
Tell you what.
Stay the night.
Try a little of
our hospitality,
see how you like it.
We'll talk again
in the morning.
Word of advice, Walker.
It's not a choice.
There's always
a choice.
There'll be someone
outside your room all night.
- If you need anything.
- I dont need anything.
You never know.
This is for you. It's
water for washing
and some food, some
